- Food Travel Log
- Vietnamese restaurants are commonly seen in Taiwan, thanks to a significant Vietnamese population due to immigration policies. Upon exploring the quality of pho in Taiwan, I found the dish to be authentically delightful with its rich beef broth infused with the fragrance of cilantro, complemented by chewy rice noodles and tender meat! Come to think of it, both countries share a connection through rice, noodles, and soup, making them highly compatible. Meals enjoyed under the guise of studying food culture taste exceptionally wonderful!

- Pho is a representative Vietnamese dish said to have originated in Vietnam during the late 19th century when it was a French colony. It uses a broth based on beef and unique flat noodles made from rice flour, with fresh herbs and cilantro enhancing the flavor. In Taiwan, particularly in recent years, Vietnamese cuisine has spread due to immigrants from Vietnam, blending into the local food culture. When eating pho, it's recommended to add a bit of lime or chili sauce to customize it to your liking. The combination of soft and chewy noodles, broth, and herbs comes together to provide a luxurious taste experience. Enjoying delicious food as a way to learn about food culture is one style, but I sometimes think it's just an excuse! The man writing this blog probably uses "studying food culture" as an excuse for being a foodie while he's eating (laughs).
